[Kvothe 49]

i am just wondering if y take into account time shifts, or i am just unlucky.

@DynastyExcuse me, but why isn't there a link to an image in the "caption this image" challenge? Where is the image that we are supposed to be captioning?

Just ignore this one. It will be replaced as soon as possible.

Thank You very much for your kind donation... to my understanding. 

 

@Dynasty, is that a helper in that image we are supposed to caption? 

 

Because there is 100 percent protection against everything on, which doesn't make sense because that just makes the game impossible. Please don't tell me they're bringing out a 100% protection module, please. 

 

@Dynasty, where are those 2000 cyrstals for the challenge ideas as I have already submitted 10+ submissions of challenge ideas to... you? Person_Random?

Morning all!
Unfortunately, I have projects and exams until the 10th of June. Following that, I’ll be free from high school. But it doesn’t end there. Actually, a couple days prior to that, I’ll be starting summer classes and prestudy for my undergraduate curriculum, and that won’t let up until 8 weeks after, which will be precisely the end of July - erm, actually, one day before that. Given that school will be starting up in mid-August, it doesn’t leave much semi-free time for me to devote my attention to the Newspaper, and definitely not Competitor.
For this reason, we won’t be able to update the challenges board twice a week for the time being nor start up the next season immediately after the end of the first one in a couple weeks’ time. The next season of Competitor is slated to start in July, a month after this season concludes.
Thanks for your understanding!
Well, of course, if you would like to change things around and also happen to have a bit of an affinity for writing for one of your favorite games, then I would recommend that you apply for Newspaper Reporter. We’re fighting a high workload in real life and could surely use a couple new faces in the team. Why not try your hand by applying here?
(And yes, prizes should be delivered soon - I just have a bit of a bug that keeps giving out prizes to “Loading…” instead of the correct username. I don’t know that’s up, but I’ll try to fix it and get back to you all soon.)
 

Best of luck with your exams!

I do hold a pretty large role in setting up the project and not being around to keep it fresh and up-to-date has definitely hurt this contest season as well as the Newspaper Challenges Contest. It wasn't quite what I hoped for. (However, on the positive side, it did influence my undergraduate and graduate study plans, so I'm eternally grateful for that) For this reason, we won’t be able to update the challenges board twice a week (it'll be scheduled to update every Monday) for the time being nor start up the next season immediately after the end of the first one in a couple weeks’ time.

Perhaps you could advertise the newspaper reporter position a bit more...say a few ultra containers for the first person to put there application in...

@Person_Random.Funny, it is morning for me as well... What day is it for you?

Haha - a bonus to sign up. That would be very smart

I've heard of things like this, but I'm not sure how they turned out. We'll see though!

Best wishes for exams.

If you don't mind me asking, what will you be studying at uni?

Thanks

I hope to study applied math with a focus in computer science - all that Google Sheet spamming made me want to make a career out of it.

[Lose 881]

Indeed, people should apply for Reporter

 

Good luck on exams by the way!

There was no winner at all as no new HD skin was released for the month of April. However, challenges 9 and 10 have been successfully replaced with 2 new ones.

but i tought "no HD skin" would be counted

thanks anyway

[Person_Random 4,991]

Hey guys!

Final exams (for high school) will be over soon. I'll be tallying stuff up and grinding calculus and physics, and I hope to get the prizes sent as soon as I can. Unfortunately, they won't be sent during sales because the first season hasn't ended perfect for procrastinating PR.

Anyways, that wasn't what I came here to say. I've just come to say that there are some huge plans for Season II. Attached in the spoiler is just a small sneak peek of what's to come

It looks like the newspaper is getting a new website of it's own! wow! is that really happening?

Not the Newspaper itself - just for the challenges. The Google Sheets database got a little bit... convoluted. 

JavaScript, despite being a broken and disgusting language, has the redeeming quality of being the perfect tool for making challenge and table updates much easier.

We should be praising the efforts of @Person_Random. Making an entire website for Competitor Season 2! Well, I don't think I should be revealing any more cuz surprises are the best.

[Person_Random 4,991]

Also another Challenges-specific update:

Thanks to some minor scripting and the *coughs* Google Sheet *coughs* complying for once, I've been able to submit prizes lightning fast. All previously owed prizes should be in your accounts very soon - they have been submitted!

Things shall be all taken care of this weekend (hopefully) - just two final exams and then a short break to offload a couple of things. And yes, in the future, the stuck challenges will be addressed.

Thanks for your patience. Competitor Season II will be awesome!

[Bydo 20,120]

so I take it this is now finished seeing it has not been updated for sometime?
